will 84- 86 F do fine for a flowerhorn? I've heard taht high temperatures are actually bad for fish in the long run, any truth to this?
 
Flowerhorn cichlids are usually kept at a water temperature of 80–85 °F, and a ph of 7.4–8.0. They require a large tank (minimum of 50 gallons) to grow. Being aggressive and territorial, two or more flowerhorns are usually not kept together, but the tank housing them can be divided up with acrylic dividers or egg crates.
